WHAT IS THE AC JOINT?
The AC (acromioclavicular) joint is a
joint in the shoulder where the collarbone
(clavicle) meets the shoulder
blade (scapula). The specific part of
the scapula adjacent to the clavicle
is called the acromion, hence the
name AC joint. This is in contrast
to the glenohumeral joint, the main
ball and socket shoulder joint.

HOW DO YOU TREAT ARTHRITIS OF THE AC JOINT?
There is currently no way to replace
the cartilage that is damaged by arthritis.
As a result, the primary way to
control the symptoms of arthritis is
to modify your activities so as not to
aggravate the condition. Application
of ice to the joint helps decrease pain
and inflammation. Medication including
aspirin, acetaminophen, and nonsteroidal
drugs anti-inflammatory drugs
(NSAIDs) are also used commonly.
<snip>
WHEN IS SURGERY INDICATED?
Grade I and II separations very rarely
require surgery. Even Grade III injuries
usually allow return to full activity with
few restrictions. In some cases a painful
lump may persist, necessitating partial
clavicle excision in selected individuals
such as high caliber throwing athletes.
Surgery can be very successful in these
cases, but as always, the benefits must
be weighed against the potential risks.
